Description

Recycle the nitrogen gas liquefaction system of LNG cold energy
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of nitrogen gas liquefaction system recycling LNG cold energy, particularly relate to a kind of LNG cold energy recycle system making liquefaction of nitrogen.
Background technology
LNG (liquefied natural gas) not only contains huge cold, the more important thing is that its cold quality is very high.Along with the sustainable growth of LNG consumption, the cold that gasification produces also increases in succession.But traditional LNG gasification station adopts air-bathing gasifier that low temperature LNG (-160 DEG C) is heated to normal temperature and enters pipe network.In gasification, a large amount of cold energy is gathered in gasifier periphery and makes the air setting of periphery become water smoke thus cause cold pollution.
The cold energy discharged in LNG gasification can adopt direct or indirect method to be used.Direct Application way has cold energy generation, air liquefaction separation, cold storage warehouse, manufacture liquefied carbon dioxide, desalinization, air-conditioning and cold temperature culture cultivation etc.; Indirect utilization method has time point liquid oxygen obtained, liquid nitrogen to carry out cryogenic pulverization, sewage disposal, cryosurgery etc.
It is carry out degree of depth refrigerated separation to air that conventional air is separated project, needs a large amount of colds.The utilization of LNG cold energy the cold of LNG is passed to the medium needing cooling, reaches cold recoverable object.Compared with other LNG cold energy use method, in air separation unit, circulating nitrogen gas condensing temperature is lower, and between 145 ~ 235K, relatively little with the temperature difference of LNG, the irreversible loss in cold energy removal process is less, is more satisfactory and efficient Application way.
The air separation products be most widely used at present is oxygen, nitrogen, argon gas three kinds of gases.Oxygen is the active gas of reaction, is mainly used in metallurgy industry and chemical industry, can also be used for health care, municipal sewage treatment, metal solder and cutting, and because it has sufficient combustion-supporting property to any fuel, oxygen is also in burning process; Nitrogen can be widely used in industry and research field.In most application, nitrogen is cold-producing medium as a kind of physics or a kind of inert gas of chemistry; The most important chemical characteristic of argon gas is its inertia, and this characteristic becomes the protective gas of high-temperature process, is normally used in metallurgical and welding procedure.
The method that existing sky divides technology separation to go out the industrial gasses such as liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen product is usually with the low-temperature liquefaction air separating method manufacture of Linde cycle or other improved loop.This method first air compressing to high pressure, make by the Air flow that compresses to normal temperature with cooling water, pressure-air throttling or expansion is allowed to produce low temperature, and the backflow of the Cryogenic air utilizing self to produce or isolated low temperature nitrogen and cryogenic oxygen is to cool pressure-air, so, pressure-air produces lower temperature by carrying out throttling at a lower temperature or expanding, and so circulate continuation, until make air liquefaction.After air liquefaction, utilize fractionating column to be separated according to heterogeneity boiling point difference in air, obtain oxygen, nitrogen, argon gas or their liquid that purity is very high.This method will be carried out under-150 DEG C ~-191 DEG C conditions, creates and tie up special low temperature and will consume a large amount of electric energy, and produce the cold energy loss of air separation.Utilize the document of the air separation unit of LNG cold energy little at present, the international RELATED APPLICATIONS through retrieval is also few.United States Patent (USP) solves the air-separating plant of LNG low-temperature receiver used, because of LNG demand fluctuation cause LNG cold under-supply time, adopt the liquid gasification of the inert gas of internal reservoir to supplement cold.A kind of elevated pressure nitrogen fluid of U.S. Patent Publication the cold quantity transmission of liquefied natural gas to cryogenic air separation plant, this invention relates to the process of the nitrogen liquefaction of producing with the associating cryogenic air separation plant improving refrigeration performance, the very low LNG of temperature is in gasification and transport simultaneously by as cold-producing medium, be characterized in being used as refrigerating medium with the nitrogen fluid of high pressure, air before LNG cold is passed to compression and nitrogen, elevated pressure nitrogen condenses is made again with the cold energy of LNG, produce by elevated pressure nitrogen the damp steam containing liquid nitrogen through throttling again in addition, go out liquid nitrogen through separation of produced.The disclosed one of Japan Patent: No:1090715 only uses high pressure fractionating column condensation segment and low pressure fractionating column without conventional high-pressure fractionating column, by the nitrogen recompression that low pressure fractionating column is produced, LNG is utilized to cool, fluorine Lyons is adopted to make the methods such as the refrigerating medium between low temperature LNG and compressed nitrogen and compressed air, raw air is only compressed to low pressure fractionating column operating pressure, produces liquid oxygen, liquid air and liquid argon.These methods propose the method utilizing LNG cold energy oxygen, nitrogen processed respectively from certain side.The weak point that current LNG cold energy produces the air-separating plant flow process of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen is: the oxygen liquefaction and the liquefaction of nitrogen that 1. consume a large amount of cold are temperature required lower than LNG gasification temperature-161 DEG C, must be supplemented by active refrigeration method.2. Compression alone air cooling can not balance the cold needed for liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, and energy consumption is very large.3. the LNG physical property of different component is different, and methane content is lower, and LNG gasification produces in cold temperature and moves, and available cold reduces, quality reduces.4. system will realize supplementing and balance of cold under different warm area.5. LNG cold energy use efficiency is on the low side.The parts of the air separation plant adopted in flow process are many, have: air cleaner, air compressor, aerial cooler, molecular screener adsorbing system, main heat exchanger, high pressure fractionating column, low pressure fractionating column, subcooler, argon gas fractionating system, liquid argon storage tank, liquid nitrogen storage tank, liquid oxygen storage tank, liquia air choke valve, liquid nitrogen choke valve, liquid ammonia switch valve, liquid oxygen switch valve, the blow through valve of Liquid Argon switch valve and connecting line and necessity, liquid air acetylene absorber, the useless nitrogen heater etc. of accessory system.Also set up with the nitrogen Inner eycle of LNG cold energy cooling and nitrogen outer circulation refrigeration system, and adopted fluorine Lyons of LNG cooling to be the refrigerating medium cooling pressure-air circulatory system.These newly-increased system flows run like this: air enters air compressor and is compressed to more than 0.5MPa after dust impurity is removed in air cleaner filtration, compressed air is cooled to 1 ~ 5 DEG C at aerial cooler by freon refrigerating medium, enter molecular screener adsorbing system, fall moisture content in air and the laggard pressure-air heat exchanger channels of becoming owner of heat exchange of carbon dioxide by molecular sieve adsorption; Main heat exchanger is heat-exchangers of the plate type, also be provided with the Medium pressure cycle nitrogen backheat passage of bottom in and top out and low-purity to give up channel of nitrogen, compressed air by the Medium pressure cycle nitrogen of about-180 DEG C that backflows and low-purity give up nitrogen cool, become saturated mode humid air, then enter high pressure fractionating column entrance; Air and liquid nitrogen condensation and the evaporation repeatedly on the column plate of multilayer from overhead streams in high pressure fractionating column, oxygen-enriched liquid air containing more liquid oxygen composition combines in the bottom of high pressure fractionating column, nitrogen combines in the top of high pressure fractionating column, and with low pressure fractionation column base liquid oxygen heat-shift after nitrogen be condensed into liquid.The liquid nitrogen that high pressure fractionating column top liquid nitrogen trap is collected is by exporting extraction, lower the temperature further through subcooler, about 0.14MPa is depressurized to again through liquid nitrogen choke valve, enter low pressure fractionating column top, as the phegma at low pressure fractionating column top, another part is banished liquid nitrogen storage tank and is stored after control valve.The oxygen-enriched liquid air of high pressure fractionation column base adsorbs to fall acetylene through liquid air acetylene absorber after outlet is flowed out, and cool through subcooler, again after the step-down of liquia air choke valve, enter the crude argon column of argon gas fractionating system, after oxygen-enriched liquid air is tentatively extracted argon gas in argon gas fractionating system, the pipeline of liquia air connected through low pressure fractionating column again connects and flows in low pressure fractionating column in the middle part of low pressure fractionating column, after the fractionation of low pressure fractionating column, high-purity liquid oxygen combines in low pressure fractionation column base, and to put to liquid oxygen storage tank through control valve from interface and store, the high pure nitrogen that low pressure fractionating column top is flowed out, after subcooler recovery section cold, enter the low pressure Inner eycle nitrogen backheat passage of low cycle of higher pressure nitrogen heat exchanger, cold is passed to the cycle of higher pressure nitrogen of the high pressure Inner eycle nitrogen heat release pipe of upper entering and lower leaving, heat up about to 110 ~ 120K, then enter medium pressure nitrogen air compressor to compress, be compressed to more than 1.0MPa, outlet temperature is more than after 220K, enter the sub-high pressure Inner eycle nitrogen heat release pipe of liquefied natural gas heat exchanger, release heat to LNG, temperature rolls back about 110 ~ 120K, enter high pressure nitrogen compressor compresses again to 5.0MPa, the high pressure Inner eycle nitrogen heat release pipe entering liquefied natural gas heat exchanger again releases heat to LNG, after temperature is down to about 110 ~ 120K, enter the high pressure Inner eycle nitrogen heat release pipe of low cycle of higher pressure nitrogen heat exchanger again, be cooled to about 100K further, and after be about 0.5MPa through Inner eycle nitrogen choke valve reducing pressure by regulating flow to high pressure fractionating column operating pressure, produce a large amount of liquid nitrogen and fractional saturation nitrogen, and after to enter the liquid nitrogen entrance of high pressure fractionating column through crossing.The Medium pressure cycle nitrogen that nitrogen outlet from high pressure fractionating column middle and upper part is drawn, just just starts the initial stage at device, through check valve, enters the Medium pressure cycle nitrogen backheat passage of main heat exchanger.When device normally runs, the nitrogen of outer circulation is no longer drawn from the nitrogen outlet of high pressure fractionating column middle and upper part, and draws the low temperature nitrogen after the throttling of nitrogen choke valve; The low temperature outer circulation nitrogen of about 90 ~ 100K passes to compressed air cold in the Medium pressure cycle nitrogen backheat passage of main heat exchanger, self backheat is to the temperature entering main heat exchanger entrance close to compressed air simultaneously, applicable flow is adjusted to through control valve, then enter the middle pressure outer circulation nitrogen heat releasing passage of liquefied natural gas heat exchanger, again the natural gas that is liquefied is cooled to about-120 DEG C, then enters outer circulation medium pressure nitrogen air compressor.Compressor is reduced to 3 ~ 5MPa nitrogen pressure, the temperature of circulating nitrogen gas is about 190K ~ 200K (-83 DEG C ~-73 DEG C), then enter the high pressure outer circulation nitrogen heat release pipe of liquefied natural gas heat exchanger, absorb LNG cold to be cooled to about 120K, to enter the high pressure outer circulation nitrogen heat release pipe of low-cycle of higher pressure nitrogen heat exchanger again, then be cooled to further and about close 100K.At the beginning of device starts, close choke valve, throttle opening, allows circulating air enter knockout tower, participates in fractionation.After being full of high pure nitrogen in circulation pipe, close choke valve, open outer circulation nitrogen choke valve and control valve, after throttling, pressure is also at about 0.5MPa.The low-purity nitrogen gas that low pressure fractionating column top is flowed out, with draw from high pressure fractionating column centre exit, converging through the nitrogen of the heat exchanger belonging to smart argon purifying column of argon gas fractionating system and the dirty little throttling N of nitrogen of argon liquid processed and heat exchanger, then after subcooler heat exchange, temperature enters the useless channel of nitrogen of main heat exchanger about 90K, absorb compressed-air actuated heat and by backheat at main heat exchanger, finally in exit by backheat to the temperature a little less than the porch compressed air several years.Backheat after useless nitrogen heater is heated by electric heater, delivers to molecular screener adsorbing system to the lower purified nitrogen gas of room temperature, and the moisture content in the molecular sieve tank removing desorption saturated steam in molecular sieve and carbon dioxide, make it regeneration, or by valve emptying.
The technological process utilizing LNG cold energy to carry out air separation has multiple, and external typical empty point flow process is that the air as raw material is entered air cleaner, enters air compressor after being removed by the dust in air.After compressor compression, pressure is that the air of 0.6MPa enters in air precooler and is precooled to 283K.Utilize the principle of pressure-variable adsorption the impurity such as carbon dioxide, moisture to be adsorbed in molecular sieve removing subsequently and freeze blocking to prevent subsequent pipeline.In cryogenic heat exchanger gaseous air by low-temperature circulating gaseous nitrogen atmosphere and low-purity discard to enter high pressure fractionating column after nitrogen is cooled to about 100K successively, low pressure fractionating column carries out each component of heat exchange gaseous air with low temperature liquid nitrogen wherein and liquefies successively.The liquid oxygen product of gained enters in liquid oxygen storage tank and stores, and liquid nitrogen product enters in liquid nitrogen storage tank and stores.Send in liquid argon storage tank store by argon purifier and the argon purifying column gained liquid argon product that carries out purifying and purify successively after using the deoxidation of hydrogen tank hydrogenation catalyst containing argon liquid gas.High pressure fractionating column flow out circulating gaseous nitrogen after cryogenic heat exchanger and raw air heat exchange, temperature rises to about 270K and enters main heat exchanger again and LNG heat-exchange temperature reduces to about 120K, then in cyclic nitrogen compressor, the high-pressure gaseous nitrogen of gained about 195K, about 2.5MPa is compressed, again enter main heat exchanger condensation temperature and reduce to about 120K, after nitrogen choke valve throttling decrease temperature and pressure to about 91K, 0.4MPa, enter after the liquid nitrogen entrance of high pressure fractionating column and air heat-exchange gasify and continue to circulate.The low-purity nitrogen gas of about the 100K that low pressure fractionating column top is flowed out, carries out cold energy recovery through cryogenic heat exchanger, after a part is heated by electric heater when needed, for the regeneration remainder emptying of air purifier Middle molecule sieve.The LNG of 110K, after main heat exchanger gasification, is warming up to about 250K, and shortage of heat part is undertaken supplementing adjustment or being supplemented by other cold energy retracting devices such as the air precoolers in system regulating by gas heater.
